Have you thought about meta data for all platforms, including web
apps? There is a proposal from Mozilla

I especially like the declaration of activities/intents so the app stores can be searched for offered service (intent-filters)

I am slightly afraid of taking too big tasks for the first version. Such approach is often a reason to fail. We better so less but better. Although I agree that if you look at the specification there are no so many Android specific things (probably only <apk-files> section).

In the first version of the AppDF specification we do not want to add any new functionality comparing to what is already supported by the existing alternative Android stores. We need just enable developers to submit their apps to the existing stores easily.

As I understand intent-filters are not supported by the Android application stores yet, right?
